Our Spring Benefit was last week! We had a wonderful night with all our guests, as we highlighted the food insecurity needs that affects 1.3 million people in our city. Special thanks to Russel Rader of Reunion Church for hosting, Marian Hutchins for sharing the ways The Father's Heart Ministries feeds hungry New Yorkers, and Julia An for sharing why she remains a strong Hope for New York supporter! We're so thankful for everyone who spent an unforgettable night supporting our work!

Every judge & district attorney need to listen long & hard.
Detective Jonathan Diller and his wife, Stephanie, were soulmates — a cop and nurse bonded by their dedication to helping those in need and their love of life and one another. Jonathan was truly one of New York’s Finest admired by so many as seen by the sea of blue that lined the street outside the church. Surrounded by thousands of brave men and women in attendance, Stephanie showed that courage was just one more thing she had in common with her husband.

Read my take on St. Patrick's Day below!
Did you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this year? For the first time since I moved to LA nearly 10 years, I did. Well, nearly. I attended The Irish Film Festival LA at the Monica Film Center on Saturday 3/16 which got me in the spirit. Since I stopped drinking over 11 years ago, and even before that, I stopped celebrating the big fella’s day. It has become a gaudy nightmare of leprechaun costumes and green beer which has spread around the world. But this year I looked deeper into his history and discovered that he wasn’t even Irish. He was captured from England by Irish pirates and enslaved for 6 years. While in captivity he worked as a shepherd and became close to God, and most importantly, he learned the Irish language until he escaped. When he returned years later, knowing the people and language enabled him to peacefully convert Ireland from paganism to Christianity. Though I’m 5,000 miles away, meeting Irish folks at the film festival reminded me of one of the most powerful connections to our native homes... Language. And this month my story went the other way… An interview I did with San Francisco’s Irish Herald was republished by insideireland.ie. Read the full story in the link below to discover what else ties me to my other, faraway home. #irishamerican #losangeles #latimes #originstory #storytellingforbusiness #galway #journalism #insideireland #saintpatrick

When did you meet your first guide and mentor in business? For me, it was in April 1977 at Long Crendon County Combined Primary School, over a game of tennis-ball football at morning break. After a messy parental divorce and a couple of years away from the village where I was born, I returned to the school after a two-year gap. My previous friends had moved on, and I found solace and friendship with a boy who’d arrived since I’d been away. Last weekend – unbelievably more than 45 years since we first met – I had the huge pleasure of spending a couple of days with Peter Russian and his family in their new home in Brookline, MA, on the fringes of Boston. Here we are, riding the T-line to eat lobster rolls in Quincy Market. We had fun – of course. Catching up, learning about their new adventure in business as well as family life, kids adjusting to new schools, and the travails of dealing with Fall leaves. But for the past few years, as we’ve both been actively building and scaling our businesses, we’ve developed a new relationship. We’ve become accountability buddies, probing and testing one another, offering guidance and perspective on fortnightly calls that we term “Yalta”. Transatlantic Zooms usually, enabling us both to focus ON the business rather than getting trapped IN the business. Something – I’d wager London to a house brick – neither of us would have imagined we’d be doing back in 1977, when our minds were more focused on the day’s holiday we’d be getting for the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. #accountability #businessplanning #businessdevelopment

If you want a glimpse at the extraordinary heart, soul, and intellect of New York’s Chief Judge, watch this short video of his remarks at our recent event.
Commemorating the 30th Anniversary of the newly renamed Midtown Community Justice Center and its contributions to community safety and security, Chief Judge Rowan D. Wilson delivers a candid and celebratory speech in its honor. In the spirit of the holiday season, he remembers the themes of compassion and shared humanity in films like "Miracle on 34th Street" and their likeness to the work and diverse practitioners at Midtown—calling the latter New York’s own “Miracle on 54th Street.” Their long-standing, innovative foundation of meeting individuals with resources and support rather than a sentence in court is, in short, miraculous. 30 years of justice represents more than 30 years of a court—it represents 30 years of community, 30 years of humanity, and 30 years of love… and that legacy is here to stay. Watch the full panel of speakers here 📢 : https://bit.ly/48loj1N And subscribe to our YouTube channel here 📺 : https://bit.ly/47VujPd

This week, many of us enjoy celebrating our Irish heritage with St. Patrick’s day. The occasion brings people together for a good time as we begin to welcome springtime. I also learned March 19 is recognized by Christian churches as the feast of St. Joseph, who is the patron saint of Italians. It is known as Father’s Day in Italy, Spain and other countries. A noble vocation. St. Joseph the Worker also is celebrated on May 1, International Worker’s Day, that honors laborers, the struggles of the working class, and the campaign for worker rights, like the 8-hour workday. It is observed by many countries around the world. That’s just the context. So much is shared here on LinkedIn about the power of storytelling. We often can find takeaways from any new person we meet or story we hear. Lessons for us from St. Joseph: 1. Say “yes” — We may not always be comfortable with situations we are placed in, but when we say yes, we may be taking a risk or going beyond our comfort zone and grow. 2. Listen and Act — St. Joseph is a prominent figure in the Christian faith, but he actually never utters a word in the Bible. He listened, and he acted. He worked his craft, supported his family, and raised his son(s). He listened and devoted his life to what he believed was right. 3. Be humble. Most of all, St. Joseph is recognized for his humility. Humility can be a valuable leadership trait when we can recognize our own limitations, appreciate the contributions of others, and show respect and empathy. Hope you don’t mind this different kind of post, connecting religious and cultural observations this week with our professional lives. #humility #leadership #listening #sayyesnewexperiences #storytelling

Brigid's Day | Lá Fhéile Bríde For just over a year now, I have felt Brigid's knock on the door; she has crossed the threshold from her world into mine in many ways. My middle name is Brigid, so I feel Brigid-centred. I was born on the 9th of February, not long after her feast day. I come from a long line of Brigid's. My maternal grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother are and were all Brigid's, to name but a few connections. When my mother passed away in January last year, there was just one thing that I wanted of hers, and that was her St Brigid’s Cross. I didn't know why at the time, but I can engage in its symbolism now. The celebration of Brigid's Day as a national holiday in Ireland underscores the significance of embracing change and transition. Brigid embodies the duality of many spiritual traditions and symbolises the threshold, the space between two opposites. Participating in this liminal space, perhaps through deeper exploration of ourselves, through intuitive practices, invoking Imbas, active imagination, dream analysis, and communing with nature could help initiate this, allowing us to gain self-awareness and a deeper understanding of humanity and the other-than-human world. Through arts and culture, we can explore thresholds and gain insights into our emotions and experiences to navigate transformation and change. However, contemporary Irish society faces challenges, such as a lack of meaningful rites of passage, a loss of connection with our inner selves, hustle culture, and environmental apathy. Addressing these issues by promoting structured rituals and preserving natural rhythms can lead to a more sustainable and fulfilling future. We can create a more harmonious and thriving society by recognising the importance of embracing transition and change while preserving cultural traditions. Brigid reminds us that navigating transitional periods can lead to self-discovery and that exploring thresholds offers a rich metaphor for exploring a wide range of human experiences and emotions. #BrigidsDay #Imbolc #InnerWisdom #Inspiration #GoddessBrigid #Imbas #JuniganPsychology #creativity #ireland #StBrigidsDay
